There has been a huge amount of anticipation in the build-up to UFC 304. None more so than the much-anticipated rematch between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad. Our A.I. managed to have quite the week last week, going (4-1) to bring our overall win-loss total up to (10-4). Now let's get into those picks.
Main Event: Leon Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad 2
Analysis: This is a rematch of their 2021 bout that ended in a no-contest due to an accidental eye poke. Leon Edwards, the reigning welterweight champion, has been on a tear with his striking and well-rounded game. Belal Muhammad, on the other hand, has shown incredible resilience and grappling skills, making this a very intriguing matchup.
Prediction: Edwards’ striking and experience might give him the edge, but Muhammad’s relentless pressure could make it a close fight. I’m leaning towards Edwards retaining his title by decision.
Co-Main Event: Tom Aspinall vs. Curtis Blaydes
Analysis: This is another rematch, with their first fight ending abruptly due to Aspinall’s knee injury. Aspinall is known for his speed and striking, while Blaydes is a dominant wrestler with heavy ground and pound.
Prediction: If Aspinall can keep the fight standing, he has a good chance of winning. However, Blaydes’ wrestling could be the deciding factor. I’m predicting Blaydes by TKO in the later rounds.
King Green vs. Paddy Pimblett
Analysis: King Green is a seasoned veteran with a well-rounded skill set, while Paddy Pimblett is a rising star known for his charisma and submission skills.
Prediction: This could be a close fight, but Pimblett’s grappling might give him the edge. I’m predicting Pimblett by submission.
Christian Leroy Duncan vs. Gregory Rodrigues
Analysis: Duncan is a dynamic striker with a lot of potential, while Rodrigues is a powerful grappler with knockout power.
Prediction: Rodrigues’ experience and grappling might be too much for Duncan. I’m predicting Rodrigues by submission.
Arnold Allen vs. Giga Chikadze
Analysis: Allen is a well-rounded fighter with solid striking and grappling, while Chikadze is a dangerous striker with a kickboxing background.
Prediction: This could be a striking battle, but Allen’s versatility might give him the edge. I’m predicting Allen by decision.
Nathaniel Wood vs. Daniel Pineda
Analysis: Wood is a technical striker with good grappling, while Pineda is a veteran with knockout power and submission skills.
Prediction: Wood’s technical striking and pace might be too much for Pineda. I’m predicting Wood by decision
